About the host
Hosted by Lisa Smith
Kevin and Elsa Smith, married for 35 years, have raised a family of three boys for whom they built and named 3 houses back in 2004. The revenues generated from rentals were dedicated to funding their sons' college education. Now, with the joy of grandchildren in their lives, the couple has affectionately renamed the home "Kids Cottage." They hope that one day, the proceeds from rentals will also contribute to the education of their beloved grandchildren.
Why they chose this property
The beach house, originally built in 2004, underwent a complete remodel in 2024. Situated in the desirable and safe Jamaica Beach area of Galveston, this home boasts stunning views of both the beach and the bay. Conveniently located, it is just a 3-minute walk from a restaurant, a neighborhood grocery store, and a gas station. Across the street, you'll find the Jamaica Beach RV Park which has a pool, a lazy river, and an 18-hole glow-in-the-dark miniature golf course that is open to the public for a small fee.
What makes this property unique
Kids Cottage comfortably sleeps 12 to 14 guests, utilizing the sectional sofa as an additional bed. Its close proximity to the beach and open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas make it an ideal spot for friend and family gatherings. The layout allows for both togetherness and personal space, with options to retreat to the top deck off the master and second bedrooms, the main deck off the living room, the downstairs area, or the beach for some quiet time. This particular beach is clean and pretty safe considering that the Jamaica beach police department is just a couple of blocks away.
